2023 Renault Clio 1.6L Hybrid electric · YP23 PKA

The current date, 2026-06-17, is 11 months after the most recent MOT test on 2026-03-09, meaning the vehicle has been tested and cleared for road use within a single year. The overall roadworthiness is good, but the maintenance trend is improving rather than worsening. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and structural corrosion on the engine block in the September 2023 test, suggesting that while the brakes are currently functioning, the condition of the engine block and suspension components indicates a need for closer inspection. The mileage pattern shows that the vehicle has not accumulated more than 3,030 miles in the last three years, which is considered low for a 2023 model and aligns with its age. The test results from 2026-03-09 are consistent with the 2026-06-17 MOT, indicating that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical integrity and that the wear on the inner tyre edges has stabilized. This stability suggests that the owner has likely avoided unnecessary driving or that the vehicle has been driven under controlled conditions, which supports the conclusion that the mechanical risks are not currently escalating. To ensure the vehicle meets safety standards, a buyer should inspect the engine block for surface rust and corrosion, check the suspension bushings and coil springs for wear, and verify that the brake discs are free of rust and that the brake pads are in good condition. If the engine block shows any signs of rust, the brakes must be inspected for binding, and the suspension components must be checked for wear before the vehicle is allowed to be driven.
